[Mono-dev] WCF breakage and Windows build breakage

[Atsushi Eno]

Some updates:

- Thanks to Rodrigo, the PE verifier feature is temporarily disabled. I'm
   working on the real fixage, but WCF on git master should work now.
- I found the cause of the Windows failure. To get WCF working again on
   Windows, run:
   git checkout 2670761ee7 mono/metadata/threadpool.c
   Gonzalo is working on it.
